I woke up on this day having a doctor's appointment in the afternoon. By the time I got there I had already rehearsed my pathetic plea for an induction. I was miserable and ready and only 2 days from my due date. My OB worked her magic w/o drugs and within minutes contractions began. I headed home from my appt., called Tracy to come stay with the kids, and we were off to the hospital, all within an hour and a half. I would relive all that in an instant if given the chance. What a very exciting time that was.
Minutes before Chris and I left for the hospital, in the early stages of labor
Just before I had to put my lovely hospital gown on
That's a 9lb. baby in there!
Waiting for the anesthesiologist to give me my epidural, this was in between contractions
I was just told I was going to have to have this baby naturally and this was just minutes before my complete, horrible, ugly-cry breakdown.
READY
Lauren, our third and last child, a girl!, was born just after midnight on March 3.
To be continuted tomorrow, the little girl's first birthday.
I LOVE to remember such beautiful events in life and I am glad to know of this one especially.
